If not for the sunlight
today would be dark

shadowy earth

shadowy heart

If not for the sunlight
revealing your contours

I could not worship their angles

their curves

and strong landscapes

once so well known

now too far to reach

If not for the sunlight
I would be frozen

in these cold harsh words

that are new, but long known

and be damned my observations

and be damned your waning resolve

for in this darkness

we are naked in the sunlight

and the threat of another night
full of  too stark  darkness

but with the promise of the sun’s melting rays

to warm us

to melt away the frost

and reveal the tender buds and blades

waiting underneath

to burst forth

and bask again

where they are thankful

for the sunlight
